Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 24 Zhao Ji invites again

the other side.

Xu Mansion, on the outskirts of Xianyang City.

After dinner, Li Ji did not go back to rest, but chose to play chess with Xu Lin.

Li Ji has developed a habit of playing chess with Xu Lin before going to bed every day, otherwise she will not be able to sleep at night.

"Miss Gongsun, do you still dare to bet?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile when he saw that Li Ji was in a good situation.

Li Ji, who was wearing a light blue dress, rejected Xu Lin without hesitation.

Every failure makes you wiser. How could she make the same mistake twice?

She will never bet with Xu Lin again!

Her situation is good in this round, but it is only temporary. Maybe after a dozen or so moves, she will fall into a disadvantage and lose to Xu Lin!

"Miss Gongsun is truly afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once."

Xu Lin commented with a smile.

Then he chose to surrender.

He played too recklessly in this round, and only had two "horses" left. Li Ji not only had both the "chariot and horse", but also two cannons and three pawns that had crossed the river. How could he play this game?
As a salted fish, Xu Lin likes to do things that add icing on the cake, and does not like to do things that will make him survive.

It was for this reason that he chose to come to Qin a few years ago instead of going to Han, Zhao, Chu and other countries.

After seeing this scene, Li Ji's eyes flashed with regret.

If she had known this, she would have made a bet with Xu Lin!
But soon, she shook her head again.

She must never touch such things as betting again, otherwise she would be taken advantage of by Xu Lin sooner or later, and would even help Xu Lin count his money!

Even if she won the bet, what would it matter?
Let Xu Lin serve her for a whole night?

Although Xu Lin is a rare talent in the world, she doesn't like being served!

When she was in Puyang, Wei State, she had no maid. She took care of everything from her clothes to her room by herself.

Just when Li Ji was about to play another game with Xu Lin, the melodious sound of birds suddenly came from outside the window.

Li Wu frowned slightly when she heard the voice, then quickly walked towards the study.

After getting Xu Lin's consent, Li Wu held her waist and walked out the door.

Soon, Li Wu saw Jingwei.

After seeing Jingwei, Li Wu didn't say anything and directly took out a stack of straw paper from his arms and handed it to Jingwei.

The straw paper stated what Xu Lin had done in recent days.

On September 20th, after sunrise, Xu Lin got up, washed up, ate something, and then went to the Shadow Secret Guard Station. When he came back, the sun had already set. After dinner, Xu Lin and Li Ji played chess for half an hour. Xu Lin's hands were not very honest during the game.

On September 21, Xu Lin slept until noon. After waking up, he chose to take a rest. When the sunset melted gold, Xu Lin practiced swordsmanship with Li Ji in the courtyard. During the practice, Xu Lin's eyes were not very honest.

On September 22, Xu Lin took another day off. After waking up naturally, he went into the kitchen himself and made a large pot of fried chicken. It tasted excellent. Li Ji ate two large bowls. After eating and drinking, Xu Lin asked Li Ji to stay and serve him. Although Li Ji was reluctant, she still stayed. After an incense stick of time, Li Ji covered her mouth and came out with an ugly look on her face.

……

After a cup of tea.

Jingwei finished reading the "diary" written by Li Wu.

"Is this Li Ji already married to him?"

Jingwei asked seriously.

"should be."

Li Wu said uncertainly.

"Have you ever thought of using the honey trap?"

Jingwei looked Li Wu up and down and asked.

Li Wu is now fatter than she was a few months ago. No, she is a lot plumper.

"I have tried it before, but with little success."

"My appearance is too weak to be noticed by him."

"If we use the beauty trap, I'm afraid it will require you, Lord Jingwei..."

Li Wu pretended to be respectful.

She closed her mouth before she finished speaking.

Jingwei was not angry when he heard this, but asked Liwu to continue monitoring Xu Lin and write a "diary".

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

Even if she goes in person and takes the risk, she will have to wait for more than a month. She doesn't know Xu Lin well enough yet!
If you rush into the mansion without understanding, how can you have a chance of winning?
"promise!"

Li Wu immediately accepted the order.

Then he returned to Xu's house.

After meeting Xu Lin, Li Wu told him what she had just said truthfully.

Xu Lin looked satisfied when he heard this, and then he let Li Wu sit on his lap. Li Ji was about to say something after seeing this.

Then he chose to surrender.

She didn't want to play chess while watching Xu Lin and Li Wu compete!
"How do you think I should reward you tonight?"

After Li Ji walked away, Xu Lin gently stroked Li Wu's cheek and said.

Li Wu smiled charmingly upon hearing this and took out the whip she had prepared in advance from her arms.

For some reason, she has also taken a liking to 'passive' recently.

……

The next day.

Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace.

After breakfast, Ying Zheng asked Meng Yi to go to Shang Gong's mansion.

Now Zhao Ji and Queen Mother Huayang have both agreed that he can wear the crown and rule the country personally. As long as the royal family also agrees, he can wear the crown!
……

More than half an hour later.

Meng Yi returned to Zhangtai Palace.

Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng waved his sleeves and dismissed his attendants.

"See your Majesty!"

Meng Yi bowed and saluted.

"No gift."

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

"Kings."

"Duke Shang's intention is to have you, like King Zhaoxiang, wait until you are twenty-two to be crowned."

Meng Yi took a few steps forward and said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded thoughtfully.

He has waited for so many years, and this is the last year?
He was so annoyed about the crowning before and almost fell out with Lu Buwei because he didn't know when he could be crowned. There was no "progress bar"!
Now that Lord Shang has said that he should be crowned at the age of twenty-two, just like his great-grandfather, he now has an idea in mind!
"Kings."

"I believe that straw paper can now be promoted on a large scale."

Meng Yi coughed twice and changed the subject.

The Queen Mother Huayang has deep roots in the Qin State, no less than Lu Buwei. Now with the help of the Queen Mother Huayang, why should we fear those nobles who are dissatisfied with the straw paper?
Moreover, mass production of straw paper can benefit the world and make the common people grateful to Ying Zheng. As the saying goes, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. With the hearts of the people, why worry about not being able to overthrow Lu Buwei and unify the world?
"it is good."

"You do this."

Ying Zheng frowned slightly and immediately gave the order.

"Yes!"

Meng Yi accepted the order without hesitation.

Then he turned and left Zhangtai Palace.

……

That night.

Ganquan Palace.

Although it was late at night, the lights in Ganquan Palace were still bright.

Zhao Ji was having a meal while playing chess with Hongzao.

Hongzao is extremely talented in chess. In order to make Zhao Ji happy, she would let Zhao Ji win from time to time.

But her acting skills were not good, and Zhao Ji could tell at a glance that she was deliberately taking the wrong turn!
After losing to Hongzao again, Zhao Ji put down the bowl and turned her gaze towards Xu Mansion.

She wants to see Xu Lin.

The last time she saw Xu Lin was about ten days ago.

Although Xu Lin never flattered her, chatting with him still made her feel like spring breeze.

For example, can Xu Lin complain with her about Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei, Hong Zao and other maids?
"What has Xiao Xu been busy with recently?"

After more than ten breaths, Zhao Ji asked lazily.

Ganquan Palace is full of women, and the yin energy is too heavy, so Xu Lin is urgently needed to neutralize it!
"My subordinates don't know either."

Hongzao shook his head.

"I want to see him."

Zhao Ji placed her well-maintained left hand on her temple, rubbing it gently as she spoke.

"promise!"

Hongzao immediately accepted the order upon hearing it.

Then he rode his horse to Xu's house.
